Today, we pray for the strengthening of our faith

Lord Jesus, we pray today for our struggle to understand You and Your working in our tough, unfair world. We pray that we come to You like little children and are touched by Your Holy Spirit, so that we understand how to love, obey and honour You and our own, even when life gives us tough knocks. Be with us every moment and send Your angels to aid us when we are in emotional, physical or spiritual danger. May we become real children of Your light. Amen.

Today, we pray for the weary

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You the weary ones – the ones tired of waiting for an answer to their prayers, a fulfilment of their greatest dreams and a breakthrough from the mundane. We pray that Your Holy Spirit will comfort and enrich their subconscious tonight and give them the lift they so badly need. Assure them that all is well. Let doors open in Your Holy Name, Jesus Christ. Let us rejoice in the miracles we have hoped for. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today, we pray for the judged

Lord Jesus, we bring to Your Cross those who are judged the harshest by each one of us, the Pharisees of today. The teen with the tattoo, the intruding relative, the sulky colleague, the temperamental boss, the whining elder, the insensitive partner, the friend who wounded, the alcoholic neighbour, the gossipy stranger and many more faces we meet daily…may we see them as You see them, holy and perfect creations living in an imperfect world.

Today, we pray for the mentally ill

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our brothers and sisters who are mentally unstable. Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name we pray that they will be delivered and saved from destruction. Let schizophrenia, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, fear, psychosis, neurosis, manic depression and all kinds of mental illness be routed from our families and communities. Let them never harm themselves or others. Let them be set free forever from all emotional bondages, forever. Amen.

Today, we pray for the unemployed

Lord Jesus, today we pray for those who are longing for a job. We pray that these brothers and sisters will have the grace to pray and seek Your will when they apply for jobs. May they never lose hope when a rejection comes. May they have the will and the grace from You to try and try again without giving up. Provide them and their families with finances for their daily needs. Tell them every day what should be done with their time, their lives. Amen.
